My happiest memory of childhood was my first birthday in reform school. This teacher took an interest in me. In fact, he gave me the first birthday presents I ever got: a box of Cracker Jacks and a can of ABC shoe polish.

The '80s were fabulous. The '90s sucked, and the '70s were just a sad, sad time in human history. Go 1980s! There's something that's just so cute about that time. And not just yellow nail polish and 'I'm a loner.'

This homage has been rendered not to me - for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius.


Henryk Sienkiewicz

...nazwa liniowiec tak się miała do naszego okrętu, jak kichnięcie do wystrzału z armaty - używano jej jedynie dlatego, że w oficjalnych dokumentach Royal Navy nie figurował termin "krypa". Ani "pieprzony, pływający zamtuz". Dla większości załogi, którą desperacko próbowałem szkolić, nazwa i tak niewiele znaczyła, byli to bowiem marynarze tworzący rozpuszczoną, zdemoralizowaną bandę ludzi ze statków handlowych, więzień, tawern i przymusowego poboru. Mieliśmy na pokładzie farmerów i hodowców bydła, drobnych złodziejaszków, którzy zamienili odsiadkę na służbę w marynarce, byli też pijacy, ślepcy, ludzie nieznający ani słowa po angielsku, urodzeni panikarze, sodomici, paru klasycznych piromanów i jeden człowiek, który co niedziela próbował popełnić samobójstwo. Prawdziwych marynarzy było na okręcie jak na lekarstwo, a nawet wśród nich syfilis walczył o lepsze z rzeżączką; w tych warunkach dyscyplina stała się pojęciem równie urojonym, jak czysta odzież.

Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet's job. The rest is literature.


Jean Cocteau

It was impossible for me to believe that conditions in Europe could be worse than they were in the Polish section of Chicago, and in many Italian and Irish tenements, or that any workshops could be worse than some of those I had seen in our foreign quarters.

I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.
